Which is fine I can either leave it 24" or cut it down But what I don't like is the flat that is cut in on the topside of the barrel about 6 inches up from the port end. I can't figure what barrel they sent me or from what Crosman gun it comes from any ideas?????? _________________ You can have tomorrow, I'll take yesterday !!!   Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 9:01 pm rsterne Moderator Joined: 15 Jan 2008 Posts: 2998 Location: Coalmont, BC Disco.... That flat is to clear the rear sight IIRC.... which mounts on a sleeve that covers that flat.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

Crosman seems to have discontinued the 1760 & 2260 barrels because you can use a Disco one.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

Who said this? Crosman only produces barrels in "spurts"- so at times they may be forced to ship a Disco barrel if they want to fulfill an order (they won't substitute automatically for parts dealers for some reason). That being said- Zip being sent a 24" barrel instead of the 16" unit he ordered seems a bit out-to-lunch. If you want to go 16" and the cut-out is 6" down- you can cut it off and still have the 16" you want- but this is alot of extra work compared to getting exactly what you had ordered... _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

If they order the Disco barrel in .177 or .22 cal, no problem.... If their information is wrong, then I apologize....

I am negotiating a setup where I can order whatever barrels needed, but it may have to be in larger batches once or twice a year. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.
